Deep Research
The curb link chain look and feel
- Styled solo it reads as a confident minimal accent; when layered, the uniform flat texture of the curb chain provides an ideal structural base for mixing with finer cable or Figaro chains, a styling approach endorsed by designers from Cartier to Ruchi New York.
- The curb chain’s twisted oval links are engineered to sit flat against the skin, eliminating the open-link snagging that catches on fabrics with round cable chains; for a necklace worn daily under a collar or on bare skin, it glides without friction and stays tangle-free.
- The flat, uniformly aligned links create a bright, consistent shimmer that stands out more than the softer glow of a standard cable chain, so the necklace holds its own as a visible accessory even without a large pendant.
- Because the flat links increase skin contact area, a curb chain feels heavier and more present than a round cable chain of the identical gram weight, lending a premium hand-feel to this recycled-metal piece that belies its accessible price.
Pilgrim's recycled jewelry commitment
- Compliance with the AFIRM Restricted Substances List (RSL) means this necklace has been screened against a comprehensive catalog of harmful chemicals used by global apparel and footwear brands, so the safety guarantee extends well beyond basic nickel- and lead-free claims.
- Pilgrim has been a participant in the UN Global Compact since 2007, binding its operations to principles on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption — a long-term institutional commitment that gives the brand's ethical positioning a decade-plus track record rather than a recent pivot.
- The necklace arrives in plastic-free, FSC-certified gift wrapping and a polybag made from 100% recycled plastic certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), with bubble wrap banned since 2020 — so the packaging itself is part of the sustainability story and avoids undermining the recycled jewelry inside.
- Pilgrim’s baseline production standard requires only pure base metals free from lead and nickel, a practice the brand frames as a long-standing commitment that predates its recycled push — making this necklace a pre-qualified safer choice for sensitive skin without needing specific certifications on the hangtag.
- Pilgrim’s public roadmap targets 60% of all collections made from at least 75% recycled metal by 2024, which places this necklace within a systemic, ramping brand effort rather than a standalone capsule — signaling that the recycled commitment is an operational standard, not a seasonal initiative.
- The recycled metal in Pilgrim jewelry is sourced from pre-consumer and post-industrial waste — factory discards and excess manufacturing materials — rather than post-consumer recycling streams, so the material loop functions within the supply chain, lowering demand for virgin ore without depending on consumer recycling collection.
- Direct suppliers must sign Pilgrim’s Code of Conduct, grounded in the UN Global Compact, and undergo annual third-party audits, which extends the necklace's responsible production story beyond materials to the conditions under which it was made.
- Each Pilgrim piece undergoes two external audits — one for incoming factory material and one for the finished product — and receives a certificate stating its specific recycled percentage, making the 75% mark on this necklace a verified, traceable figure rather than a blanket marketing claim.
What recycled brass means for your necklace
- Brass has a density of around 8.5 g/cm³, noticeably heavier than steel (7.8) or aluminum (2.7), giving the curb-link chain a weighty, quality feel that is tangible in hand and against the chest — a hallmark of solid brass jewelry.
- Recycled brass is chemically identical to virgin brass — the remelting process restores the alloy to its original copper-zinc structure — so this necklace carries the same weight, tarnish behavior, and durability as a non-recycled counterpart without any material compromise.
How it stacks up against other men's necklaces under $50
- The 'Irregular' pendant shape is a recognizable Pilgrim design motif, also anchoring the brand's Jules 3-in-1 necklace; this lineage signals a deliberate design vocabulary rather than a generic metal stamping, which is what elevates the piece from anonymous mall find to a curated accessory with a point of view.
- In the small world of recycled-material men's necklaces, the $16 Astali bullet-casing pendant and $35 Full Circle cymbal necklace lean into raw, industrial salvage looks; Pilgrim's curb-chain Irregular pendant takes the eco-story in a polished, fashion-forward direction with a smooth abstract shape, making it the more versatile choice for buyers who want green credentials without a costume feel.

Documents & Data
Q&A
3 answered- What specific metals make up the 75% recycled content (e.g., brass, stainless steel, silver)?
- The recycled content consists of recycled brass or zinc, as Pilgrim states that the base of their products is made from either recycled brass or zinc [1]. Small components like the clasp and plating are not recycled.
- Is the snap hook clasp secure for everyday use, and does it have any locking or safety feature?
- Yes, the snap hook closure is secure for everyday use. It is a standard clasp type commonly used in chain necklaces and does not include a secondary locking or safety feature, but it stays closed firmly during normal wear.
- What are the recommended care instructions to prevent tarnishing of the recycled metal?
- To prevent tarnishing, we recommend storing the necklace in a dry, air-tight pouch or jewelry box away from humidity and direct sunlight. Clean it gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Avoid contact with water, perfumes, lotions, and chemicals, as these can cause discoloration over time.
